Try the grub boot floppy. Described further down in this archive. It boots
to almost anything you can possibly boot to. Except your old kernel is
deleted and the new one (?) and its initrd faulty.

Create it, (see the archive), boot, issue a

root (hd0,  <tab>

select the correct root partition

kernel /vml <tab>, resp.
kernel /boot/vml  <tab>

select the kernel you want to boot to, add something like

ro root=/dev/hda6 >Enter>

initrd /ini  <tab>, resp.
initrd /boot/ini <tab>

select the newly created (or old) initrd

boot <Enter>
